What is a Part-time Finance Director / Finance Manager

For many SMEs it is simply too expensive to hire an experienced Accountant to fulfill the role of a Finance Director.  In the current economic climate, the role of a Finance Director is becoming a necessity for most SMEs, with increasing amounts of time being spent by Managing Directors in this area.

The part-time Finance Director will not be a director of the company. It is a virtual role fulfilled by an experienced professional, bringing financial expertise to the organisation.

You can now have the services of a highly experienced Senior Finance Manager  for the fraction of the cost of employing a full time employee.

The Part-time Finance Director may be required for one day a week or one day per quarter or whatever your circumstances require. We aim to provide an entirely flexible service that matches your requirements. Your requirements may also vary over time (e.g.) many clients will require a part-time Finance Director for 2 days per week to begin with, reducing to 1 day per quarter when systems are up and running.

 

1. Accurate and timely reporting of performance—allowing you to make timely decisions about your business’s future from both an operational and strategic perspective.

3. The Finance plan is an integral part of any business plan, setting Financial plans and budgets while monitoring performance.
